21 Climate Action Planning
22 Climate Action Planning Preparedness Plan Transportation Plan Water Resources Plan Local Land Use Plans Climate Action Plan Economic Development Plan
23 Climate Action Planning Where does it start? Catalyzing event Vancouver wind storm Hurricane (Katrina, Sandy) Sierra drought? Downward political pressure California s AB 32 and SB 375 Upward pressure (community groups and organizations) Local leadership Combination of factors

25 Climate Action Planning Case Study #1 San Diego, California
26 San Diego Climate Action Plan Currently in draft form Mitigation Elements: Energy conservation Renewable energy generation Transit and land use Solid waste and waste water reduction Carbon sequestration Fundamental goal: provide a roadmap to achieve GHG reductions
27 San Diego Climate Action Plan Land Use Focus: Provide incentive/financing programs (e.g., Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE)) for energy efficient buildings Small scale residential Large scale commercial (UCSD)
28 San Diego Climate Action Plan Land Use Focus: Set region-wide mode share target for mass transit at 12% by 2025 and 25% by 2035 Established transit priority areas to prioritize pedestrian improvements that provide safe and easy access to transit. North Park Renaissance Mixed-Use TOD adjacent to 30th Street Rapid Bus Station
29 San Diego Climate Action Plan Land Use Focus: Establish mode share targets for bicycling 6% region-wide by 2020 and 18% by 2035 in transit priority areas. Focus on addressing the first mile/last mile challenge Bike lane improvements (road diets, bike lane painting, bike lane buffering) Bike sharing program Metro LA
30 San Diego Climate Action Plan City is developing a separate adaptation plan to address: Water supply issues Urban agriculture for local food security Waterway setbacks LID storm water requirements Fuels reduction in WUI areas Community education and preparedness
31 Climate Action Planning Case Study #2 Portland, Oregon
32 Portland Climate Action Plan First city to adopt a climate action plan (1993) One of the most eco-conscious cities in the world Draft 2015 Plan has nine major 2030 objectives categories: 1) Buildings and energy 2) Urban form and transportation 3) Consumption and solid waste 4) Food and agriculture 5) Carbon sequestration 6) Preparedness 7) Outreach and education 8) Municipal operations 9) Implementation
33 Portland Climate Action Plan Land Use Focus Previous efforts have resulted in modest GHG declines since 2000 Seeking 80% reduction in GHG emissions by 2050
34 Portland Climate Action Plan Land Use Focus Healthy connected ( complete ) neighborhood concept 2030 goal is for 80 percent of residents to have this lifestyle
35 Portland Climate Action Plan Land Use Focus Low carbon land use review and approval requirements Affordable housing access to transit Improved street connections (remediate access barriers)
36 Bringing it Home Climate Action Planning in Reno, Nevada
37 Climate Trends
38 Climate Trends
39 City of Reno Climate Action Planning Climate Action Initiative Technical Working Group Formed in July 2015 Developing climate action recommendations for City Manager Focusing on mitigation and adaptation Focus areas include: Land Use Transportation Water Energy Waste Community and social empowerment
40 City of Reno Climate Action Planning Compact of Mayors City Council unanimously approved last week Commit to: Reduce GHG emissions Set data-based reduction targets Develop climate action plan Identify vulnerabilities Develop adaptation plan
41 City of Reno Climate Action Planning Mitigation Opportunities Regional and location-specific mode share targets for transit, cycling and pedestrians Infrastructure to support pedestrian and bike use Density targets for key growth areas Building efficiency standards LEED requirements Cool roof designs PACE? Consider carbon intensity of development proposals Education Evaluate and build upon existing plans
42 Mitigation Midtown/Downtown, Reno, NV
43 Mitigation Intensify smartly
44 Adaptation Prepared in 2014 in response to potential climate variability and related impacts, mainly from flooding, drought, and fire. Makes connections between impacts and ability to maintain adequate public services Notes the economic and health ramifications
45 City of Reno Climate Action Planning Opportunities for Success Leadership will be key Needs on-going political support Dedicate staff position(s) to implement the plan Leverage local organizations and community leaders Leverage Existing Efforts City of Reno Master Plan update RTC planning efforts Regional Plan update Be Unique Accommodate future growth in complete neighborhoods, similar to Portland, but remember... we are not Portland, and that is OK!!
